I have such a problem with sleep. I have always had my sleeping schedual turned around since I was a teenager. I stay up to late and sleep in to late. Jacob is up by like 7:30-8am James normally is up by 9am. I normally get up at 10 or later. In between this I do drag myself out of bed, stumble down the stairs and get the cearal and milk going for the kids, but then its right back upstairs for another hour or two :-(
I know that I need to get a better habit, this is not going to work once school hits. This is something that has bothered me for quite some time. I love my sleep. I need atleast 8 hours to even be able to be me. 9-10 hours and I feel great. I think its all what our bodies are use to. I have to change. I like to stay up till 3am studying, reading, bible, books, play games on computer and talk on FB. Lets face it, my brain does not seem to really get going till about 10-11pm then im up and im ready to do this kind of stuff. How do I change it? First of all, I want to wake up by like 7am in the morning to get breakfast and get school going. I want to feel like I do right now, early in the morning, happy to be awake, happy to be up and starting a wonderful day. I think that if I were to pull a all nighter maybe I could switch my routine, but then again I wonder if that will really help at all. Do I do it all just "BAM" start doing it perfectly or start out slow? Get myself use to the new hours? I am just dreading this. We need schedual for myself, for the kids. I think it would greatly help my sanity :-D....LOL. any advice on how I should conqor my schedual issue?
Just do it. While the boys are eating breakfast, don't go back to bed, but get in the shower. I know it seems like such an simple answer, but making it work is hard. I have been having problems too. I have found that if I force myself to just lay in bed with my eyes closed, I will eventually fall asleep. Even if it is only 10pm. Good Luck!
